Elevating your Casual Friday style doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. Simply adding in cozy elements—like a pair of sneakers or a knit dress—easily uplevels your look without the discomfort of heels or unsupportive flats. To effortlessly elevate your look, use color coordination to make the whole process a lot easier. For instance, match your tips to your kicks (a.k.a. your nails to your sneakers) to quickly enhance your outfit.
Make Casual Friday Dressing Easy
Color coordination is the easiest way to elevate an outfit. Just add pops of color throughout your look that either match or work well together. After all, you don’t have to wear a monochrome (all the same color) outfit to achieve a color-coordinated look—unless you want to.
That’s why using the trick of matching your tips to your kicks works so well. By reaching for a pair of sneakers, and a pair of press-on nails that feature one (or more) colors from your sneakers, you’ll instantly (and effortlessly) look like you put more thought into your look than you probably did.
